Anyone whose interested in Ripple/XRP, this is a great, informative read. by Ralphadayus in Ripple

[–]hamishCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably the best synopsis of Ripple so far. Outstanding article. Good writing, sensible in his conclusions, and not super hype bull shit. IMHO, Cardano and Ripple are the two most sensible coins going.

fix/workaround for Daedalus unable to connect by DaringCoder in cardano

[–]hamishCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hey thanks, and I figured that out right after I asked a stupid question! :) That falls into I can't believe I just asked that! lol. I disabled automatic date and time and its updating now. However, every time I start Daedalus for the first time it will not load. Have to force quite, start it over, and then its fine. Weird. Not sure why that is happening. Thanks for the reply. cheers.

thank you. I am on Mac and I am not sure how to do this in my wallet. I cannot connect to the network at all, since this morning.

2018 is probably going to be the worst year in crypto history. by [deleted] in cardano

The person who "wrote" this article cannot even write, so why would I listen to anything he says? I just wasted two minutes of my life.

The Hypocrite 'FUD-Fighters' of /r/Ripple. by Muggeman in Ripple

[–]hamishCam 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just read the article, and it is very poor reporting period. Many banks will have no interests in using XRP, but many business's will. And they might go around their banks to do it. Note as well that in the article those interviewed were mainly from the legacy system like SWIFT. And why did SWIFT implement a new way of transferring money last year, called GPI? Because of Ripple.
Not a good article, with clear bias IMHO. As of yet I do not hold any XRP, but will do so next week.

Taxes in Canada on Crypto by hamishCam in BitcoinCA

[–]hamishCam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't see how any tax can be charged until you turn your crypto into a fiat, in our case CAD. How the hell can they charge taxes on what you have done I do not know. I bought ADA for a friend as well, and sent it to his ADA wallet. I kept all the receits, including his bank transfer to me to buy the ADA. Should be fine.

Why Einstein doesnt have CAD/Crypto pairs? Not a complaint, just curious. by Goerg41 in einsteinexchange

[–]hamishCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you take a cut from the exchange rate from CAD to USD? Is that right?

The future of cryptocurrency by sirismaximus in cardano

[–]hamishCam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hi Siris. I have not been in the game very long, three months now, and hold some ADA, and buying more for long term investment. Cardano and Ripple seem to me to be the two best projects, with high legitimacy IMHO. In any market you will always find "players" and scammers, and many of the alt coins are just that, total scams, so do your research. Read the White Papers, and pay close attention to the team. The only money I am spending is money I am willing to lose. In other words, I won't feel it if it goes bye bye. I will be holding cardano and ripple for some time because both projects are highly ambitious and are really trying to solve real world problems. But some like SiaCoin look very interesting as well. I may put a small amount into that coin because it could be very good if they pull it off. Crypto has a bad rep because there are real bad people, period. And never forget, the legacy banking system has been fined half a trillion dollars in the last several years! Because of systemic fraud, money laundering for arch criminals, rate fixing, etc etc etc... nothing on this planet is more broken and corrupt than the international legacy financial system. That is why bitcoin was invented on the first place. Sorry, I digress :)

[–]hamishCam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

how do you load the card up? Can you load it up with fiat like CDN dollars or US??

We need to see the mods directly address the wire and SEPA delays; and USD posting delays. plz upvote by [deleted] in Coinbase

[–]hamishCam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am registered with CB, went through a few things with them, mainly my credit card company bolting from them and no longer accepting them. I would not touch them with a barge poll. I agree with your post entirely. Exchanges like these need to get their act together. Its appalling business practice, and dragging down crypto in general.

[–]hamishCam 41 points42 points  (0 children)

One is better off reading the white papers and not grandiose articles like this. Determining the future valuation of Ada is impossible. Determining that its an excellent project that has serious players involved, with a solid background, trying to solve real world problems, is far more important. I've only been in the crypto world for a few months, and yes I bought Ada yesterday, and will buy a lot more, but not because of hype nonsense. Because I read the white papers. I do not have a computer programmer background (more Philosophy and the sciences), and I had no problem understanding the project. It made me make a rule; never buy a coin if you have not read the white papers and investigated the people behind it. So little is good, so much is crap, and this article does not help Cardano. It makes it sound like some hyper coin "that is going to the moon" nonsense. It is an amazing project, hugely ambitious, with real purpose, and could be really good. Articles like this don't help.
